Look At Them, They Formed a Band

I don't know how many people out there beat me to the discovery of the British pop-punk band Art Brut, but I am jealous of all of you. I was recently introduced to the group by my brother, and I freaking loved them immediately. They have a very fun, upbeat sound along with some of the purely funniest and most enjoyable lyrics I have ever heard. At one point, in the middle of their first major single, "Formed a Band," the singer declares "Yes, this is my real singing voice/It is not irony/It is not rock'n'roll." He also penned a song about his love of "DC Comics and Chocolate Milkshake," saying, "Some things will always be great/Like DC Comics and chocolate milkshake/Even though I'm twenty-eight." Art Brut is ironic, but not to the point of cynicism, a la far too many in the hipster scene. They are definitely worth checking out, even if just for the latest album title ("Art Brut vs. Satan").
